DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 16, 2013: Ford launches new workplace charging network, allowing more employees to
accomplish their daily commute entirely on electricity Ford customers now
have logged 30 million all-electric miles in the company's full range of
plug-in electric vehicles, saving more than 1.2 million kilograms of CO2
Ford delivered its best August U.S. electrified vehicle sales ever with
8,292 vehicles sold, up 288 percent over the same period a year ago. August
marks the 11th consecutive month Ford achieved electrified vehicle sales
records

More Ford employees soon will be able to drive to work entirely on
electricity, thanks to a new workplace charging network being installed at
nearly every Ford facility in the U.S. and Canada.

Ford plans to install electric vehicle charging stations at more than 50
of its company offices, product development campuses and manufacturing
facilities. Installation will begin later this year and roll out across
company facilities throughout 2014.

"Ford's commitment to sustainability extends beyond our fuel-efficient
vehicles to include our daily workplace," said Mike Tinskey, Ford global
director of Vehicle Electrification and Infrastructure. "We know that a
growing electrified vehicle infrastructure is key to making plug-in
vehicles a viable option for more consumers. Ford is committed to doing our
part to help grow that infrastructure."

Ford employees will be able to charge the all-electric Focus Electric,
as well as Ford's two plug-in hybrids – the Fusion Energi and C-MAX
Energi – at the charge stations. The service will initially be free
to employees for the first four hours. Ford estimates it will cost the
company about 50 cents to fully charge a vehicle, saving employees up to $2
in gasoline each day.

Ford's workplace EV chargers are different from competitor programs in
that they will be networked together. As a result, the company will be able
to gather additional information on electrified vehicle use, such as the
number of hours vehicles are charging and the amount of CO2 reduced.

Ford already has more than 1,700 charging stations at Ford dealerships
and company facilities in North America. The new workplace chargers will
add approximately 200 more.

Throughout the U.S. and Canada, the number of charge stations –
both public and residential – is growing rapidly. In 2009, there were
3,000 known public charge stations. Today, there are more than 20,000.

30 million electric miles Ford Fusion Energi and C-MAX Energi drivers
typically make three of their four daily trips in all-electric mode, based
on data from Ford's MyFord Mobile app. In fact, every 10 days, Ford
customers drive approximately 1 million miles on electricity alone. In
total, Ford customers now have logged 30 million all-electric miles driving
the full range of plug-in vehicles, saving more than 1.2 million kilograms
of CO2.

Current customer data from the Fusion Energi and CMAX Energi is showing
that three of every four trips are accomplished on electricity alone. By
adding another charge during the day at the workplace, it is likely that
employees will be able to accomplish all of their work week trips without
using gasoline.

Electrified vehicle sales success The popularity of Ford's electrified
vehicles led to the company's best-ever retail U.S. sales results for
Fusion Energi and C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid vehicles in August. That
contributed to Ford's best August electrified vehicle sales ever, with
8,292 vehicles sold, up 288 percent over the same period a year ago.

August also marked the 11th consecutive month Ford achieved electrified
vehicle sales records. Nearly two-thirds of new Ford electrified vehicle
sales are coming from buyers trading in other car brands.
